darkside Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Got my subwoofer set up. It frikin pounds. 2 critical mass ss152. These 15 subs only weight 5 pounds each and box is about 35pounds , all in all about 45 pounds. Its great , no heavy subwoofers in trunk makes car drive better. My JL 12w6 were about 30 pounds each and box about 75pounds. this set up has shaved at least 50-60 pounds of the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 hehe you got me all excited then I saw these are the 500 W RMS ones. Still good subs but no 2500 RMS monsters. What do you have for amps and component speakers? -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkside Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 I wish it was the 2500rms UL12 , but at 3000 dollars a pop, not doing that, unless a used one comes up cheap. I got these new for 100 each ,and retail on ebay for about 300-600 per sub. Got em super cheap. I am using MTX REQ w a oldschool soundstream rubicon 600/4 for the focal polyglass mids and high components, and a directed 2400d for the 2 15s. I wanted to keep big bass subwoofers in car, but my JL 12w6 and re audio se12s were very heavy and weighted in excess of 80-120 pounds. Not good for tracking or spirited driving. Now these critical mass speaker dont weight much at all. about 5 pounds per sub and 15 inch box prefab is about 25 pounds. thats only 35 pounds for sub w bx. This brand is great for the person who wants bass , but not wanting all the weight associated with big subs. A little pricey, can be found on ebay ,but one Critical mass UL12 will sound like 2 12w7s and only weight about 25 pounds with box. Now thats big bass with out messing with the car handling characteristics of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutbackXT05 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I thought the same thing. I was like OMFG he got 2 of the UL12 :O those things are expensive as hell. Gotta love those neodyninum (I know i didnt come even close to what they are actually called/spelled) magnets. No weight but still have all the motor force if not more of the regular magnets. Im still debating if I wanna put my BTL 18 in the outback but its just the most unconvinient woofer I've ever bought. I still dont know why I bought 2. I guess im just an impulse buyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
